Sustainable agriculture is now considered as an important factor in the development of modern agriculture. Sustainable agriculture emphasizes the long-term yield stability with the least adverse impact on the environment. So tillage is a very important factor in agricultural economics. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tillage on chickpea yield in split strip plots based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in two growing years of 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 in Mahidasht located in Kermanshah. In this research, it was found that in the fi rst year, the results of analysis of variance showed that the effect of tillage was signifi cant only on grain yield at 5% level. However, the effect of tillage on moisture content was not signifi cant in the studied properties. In the second year of experiment, the tillage factor also had a signifi cant effect on grain yield, biological yield, and moisture content at the depth of 0-20 cm at 5% level, and it was signifi cant on moisture content at the depth of 20-40 cm at second phase at 1% level. Since the yield of the crop was lower in no tillage than in other cases, but the use of no tillage has caused that there is no place for agricultural equipment and machinery in the farm which caused density in soil. It should be noted that these machines and equipment are so expensive,this issue is very important in economic terms; therefore, the use of no tillage system is proposed.
